Abstract

HIV seroconversion is associated with characteristic clinical findings which reflect the first interaction of HIV with the host immune system. Recognition of the characteristic clinical illness associated with HIV seroconversion helps to establish an early diagnosis and obviates the need for further investigation or empiric therapy. It may also afford a unique opportunity to institute counselling to prevent the further spread of HIV in the community.
